Spacious room. Very clean. Very comfortable bed. Lovely outdoor area overlooking river. No information in room about things to do in area and no information about places to eat. Disappointed we weren’t advised restaurant was closed. Overall a good experience

Booked this room because it advertised breakfast and on site restaurant for evening meal. Neither were available. No toiletries were provided not even soap to wash hands after using toilet. Bed was comfortable.

As an overnight stay on your way through it's a really good option. The rooms are a good size, the bed was very comfortable and the WiFi was good, although the bathroom was tiny but it does the job. It's also lovely in the morning to wake up right on the river and there are lots of picnic tables to sit at. There is also a Chinese restaurant onsite. The one staff member we dealt with wasn't particularly friendly but far from a deal breaker. Would happily stay here again on the way through.
